Jackal (or to any others who've done disassembly), in taking apart your bolt, did you find 2 tiny, hooked metal shims laying along each side of the extractor pin?  I didn't find any previous mention of them in the pinned GSG-5 General-breakdown/cleaning instructions.  I damn-near lost the little buggers when spraying the bolt with Gunscrubber 'cause they'll swivel outwards and fall right out if you let them.

I do know what you are talking about but I was careful when cleaning around them.  I didn't try and remove them either or make them fall out.
They can't come out if you keep the shell of the breech-housing together and blast with brake cleaner or gun scrubber.  If you do take the shell apart they may come out, just be careful.

I was just following T-blaster's instructions on the breech-housing breakdown to do a good cleaning and there they were.  When I turned the bolt over, one fell out.  Good thing I was holding it over a large white clean towel or I might have missed it.  Just thought I'd bring it up for others' FYI.
